愛迪生發明電影

這些瘋女人是誰?她們正在做什麼?您相信整個東海岸都在播放兩姐妹的拳擊表演嗎?她們是戈登姐妹(Gordon Sisters):貝茜(Bessie)及米妮(Minnie),她們號稱是第一對進行拳擊演出的女性。電影剛開始時,人們對電影有強烈的需求,所以湯瑪斯愛迪生的公司拍攝了各式各樣的東西。這部姐妹互打的影片是攝於1901年。在愛迪生製造公司(Edison Manufacturing Company)有能力拍攝「戈登姐妹的拳擊表演」(Gordon Sisters Boxing)及其他許許多多的作品前,愛迪生及其手下員工威廉狄克森(William Dickson)為了發明電影攝影機已經花費許多年的時間。

Who are these wild women and what are they doing? Would you believe they were two sisters in a boxing act that played all over the East coast? They were the Gordon Sisters, Bessie and Minnie, who claimed to be the first female boxing act. In the early years of motion pictures, there was such a demand for motion pictures that Thomas Edison's company filmed all sorts of things. This film of the sparring sisters was made in 1901. The Edison Manufacturing Company was able to shoot "Gordon Sisters Boxing" and many others only after Edison and his employee William Dickson had spent years inventing the motion picture camera.
